Man Utd captain Maguire: Fatigue showed in FA Cup defeat

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire believes a heavy schedule caught up to them for yesterday's FA Cup defeat to Leicester City.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted in his post-match comments that fatigue was partly responsible for the performance and, later, Maguire used his official Instagram account to offer his own take on the game.

“A tough one to take," wrote the captain.

“It's been a relentless run of games and today shown. Still no excuse, we know we must do better. Still lots to play for and we must bounce back."

United now have the Europa League and Premier League to work towards.
